Translation
Translation consists of transposing a written document from one language to another, conveying the message as accurately as possible. A translator demonstrates great intellectual curiosity and great open-mindedness. He must have a very good knowledge of his working languages and excellent writing skills. Professional translators prevent companies and organisations from seeing their image tarnished (erroneous translation of a slogan, inappropriate cultural reference, omission of important information, etc.). For all of these reasons, it is important to hire a professional translator to handle your documents.
Translating from English into French, why?
The principles of ethics governing the translator's work require the latter to translate into his mother tongue. I only translate into French in order to comply with this rule. Do you have quality requirements? Don’t worry, I guarantee adherence to a strict quality assurance process.
- A careful translation
During the translation process, I carry out the appropriate research for industry terminology (GDT, Termium, ONTERM, etc.) and consult any reference materials you have provided me. I make sure to always follow all the instructions you provide to the letter so that you are totally satisfied.
- A bilingual revision
After the translation comes the bilingual revision step. I check that there are no omissions, there is no confusion, no misinterpretation possible and that the appropriate terminology has been used. This approach makes it possible to verify that each and every sentence conveys the desired message and nothing is left to chance.
- A thorough proofreading
Proofreading involves checking that the spelling, conjugation, grammar and syntax comply with the rules of the target language and that style rules are respected. If necessary, I ask a competent colleague to take a second look at the target document in order to ensure the language is fluent.
I don’t merely translate the words: I connect to your company/organization/institution’s culture in order to get to know your products or services. This allows me to faithfully convey your message, even to communicate emotions, taking into account the linguistic and socio-cultural specificities of your target audience.
